This flight involved an Airbus A321 aircraft departing from London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) and landing at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK). The taxiing from the parking to the runway at EGLL took 5 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile (nm). After departing from runway 27R at EGLL, the aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,073 meters, which covered 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was reached at 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with winds blowing at 15 knots from a direction of 199 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. Following the takeoff, the aircraft started climbing from an altitude of 1,085 feet above sea level (asl), gradually increasing to 8,207 ft asl, an accumulation of a 7,122-foot ascension over a distance of 11 nm. This climb took just 3 minutes to complete.
During the enroute phase, the aircraft cruised at a level altitude on multiple occasions. The first cruise started 1 mile south-west of Woking, Surrey, England, lasting for 5 minutes and covering 22 nm. Subsequent cruising phases started over Partridge Green, West Sussex, England, and Turners Hill, lasting 6 and 3 minutes respectively, covering 13 and 4 nm.
The final approach to runway 26R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport was initiated from the east with an initial altitude of 670 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nm from the runway threshold. Landing occurred on the runway with a runway length of 1,826 meters. According to the pilot, the threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 121 knots. At a touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was slightly fast, the touchdown rate was firm at -330 feet per minute (fpm).
The overall distance covered during landing was 1,306 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway length. Runway touchdown alignment was noted as being very good. After the landing, the taxiing to the parking took 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm. The flight's overall distance covered was about 55 nm, lasting 28 minutes while utilizing approximately 1,251 kg of fuel.

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at London Gatwick Airport's runway 26R, achieving a score of 96.8%. The approach began with the aircraft positioned 2 nautical miles east of the runway, heading 252.0° and at an altitude of 670 feet above ground level (agl). The crew effectively navigated the aircraft to the runway, displaying good control and precision.
Upon reaching the runway, the pilot successfully maintained a good threshold height and a slightly elevated threshold speed of 121 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 62 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing target. This discrepancy can be attributed in part to the slightly elevated touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was higher than the target speed.
Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown rate of -330 feet per minute (fpm) was firm and stable, suggesting a controlled descent and minimal loss of altitude. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating precise control and alignment with the runway surface.
The landing took place in a relatively calm weather condition, with a temperature of 25°C, a moderate wind of 14 knots at 180°, and a minimal headwind of 3 knots. There was a crosswind of 14 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,306 meters accounted for approximately 72% of the runway's length, indicating a relatively long landing. Nevertheless, the pilot successfully managed the rollout, aligning the aircraft with the runway in a very good manner. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the entire landing process, despite minor deviations from the target landing parameters.
